Preface: Luciano Saporito, from Italy, sent me this text via PDF. For those of you not familiar, from what I understand, this replication project is a variation of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat cold fusion technology. This is also mentioned at E-Cat World.

The A.Calaon model (http://www.hydrobetatron.org/files/lenr_theory_calaon_n.pdf) is assumed as the main working hypothesis (together with other possible indications from known literature models): it will drive the process choices, and the experimental results will offer suggestions to its improvement, see report 018:

The progress will be gradually and promptly reported in the corresponding sections on www.hydrobetatron.org website, actually active since today syntheses will be communicated regularly to LENR-Forum.

As a first step, the “Parkhomov” suggestions will be implemented:

then, under the name of “Parkhomov-plus:

an improving original research path will be executed, according to some aspects claimed in the Open Power Patent Application.

After months of tuning, now the actual set-up assures behavior under severe experimental conditions, ranging from high temperature, high pression, highly corrosive operation also under High Voltage pulsed discharges and very strong magnetic field.

Safety measures include shielding against eventual alfa, beta, x, gamma and neutron emissions, as well as internal coatings of reactor surfaces by Boron Nitride layers, to protect it against corrosion.

However, emissions will be continuously detected by Geiger counters , gamma spectrometer and neutron detector.

All the reaction devices are contained in a pressurized, anti-shock safety box, controlled in temperature and pression, with filtered atmosphere.
